What They Sell

Shopping Tips

  • Visit early in the week when freshly donated items from weekend drop-offs are most likely to hit the floor — turnover is high given the constantly rotating military population at Lackland AFB.
  • Follow Airman's Attic on Facebook at facebook.com/AirmansAtticLAK for announcements about special sales, new donation hauls, or seasonal events.
  • Bring cash as a backup — many military base thrift operations prefer or exclusively use cash transactions.
  • Check for base access requirements before visiting, as Lackland Air Force Base in TX requires proper identification or a sponsor for non-military guests.
  • Don't overlook the furniture and household goods sections — military families relocating often donate nearly-new items in excellent condition that are priced to move quickly.
